996 thousand voters. they need to elect to the house of representatives of the national assembly of belarus of the eighth convocation, 16 deputies and 1,902 to local councils of the twenty -ninth convocation. well, as we can see, there is a pleasant and festive atmosphere at the polling stations, and about 450 retail outlets offer their products. today we trusted our candidates to run at various levels. in order to then express the will of those residents from where they ran, so this is probably one of the most important tasks of always a deputy, be it in the chamber representatives of local, city or village councils, this is to be as close as possible to those people who entrusted them, people should cast their votes for the best candidates, i also voted for those whom i consider worthy, who can play...

a decisive role in the region, in which they are elected, in our district , everything is organized very well, everything is for the people, yes, this is our future, this is the future of our children who will grow up in our republic, they are greeted so hospitably with pies, as they say, the atmosphere is very acceptable, very like that good, follow the elections of deputies in the brest region. almost 5,900 observers are accredited, including international ones, who also note the calm and friendly atmosphere at the polling stations. our tomorrow, the future of the country, which cannot be lost, depends on the choice we make today, too much has been done over the years of sovereign belarus. industry, agriculture, medicine are developing, cities, towns and villages are growing. therefore, the people’s representatives are entrusted with very important and responsible tasks.

of our country, we live in a strong independent country, and i wanted us to continue to live in a peaceful, calm time, where laws apply, where law and order is ensured, where every person and his work is valued, by choosing the future of our country, we choose the future of our children , our family, and this is our civic duty. people's indifference to their choice is explained simply.

this became possible due to low inflation. what economic indicators did belarusians finish last year with and how did they start this year? ilona volynets. collapse belarusian economy, the collapse of the ruble and the impoverishment of the population. this is how some well-wishers wanted to see our reality. contrary to far from optimistic forecasts, belarus’ gdp in 2023 grew by 3.9%. and this is while changing the geo-economic course. last year is called a breakthrough year externally. for years they persistently knocked, talked, told us, now we are already receiving the results of our preliminary work, more than 3,000 tractors of the belarus brand were delivered there, the minsk tractor plant, more than hundreds of combines from our gomsilmash have been supplied to a large number of fire trucks. the main drivers of economic growth are

industry, construction and trade. our country still sells more than it buys. the foreign trade balance is positive. last year, the belarusians established the maximum in the last year. 5 years of production of goods, from televisions and washing machines to cars and dump trucks. we immediately started working in 2024. in january , industrial production increased by 5.4%. the most important thing is the real income of the population, then what remains directly in the pocket in the wallets of our people, a specific person, and 106.3% real income, growth, is more than the forecast level of 104. the key is wages and pensions, they have grown. in real terms by 11%, but the salary in december in the month reached two or 3,000 rubles. food security is in the strong hands of our farmers. over the past year , agricultural organizations produced products worth almost 27 billion rubles. this is almost 1.8 million tons of livestock

poultry, over 8 million tons of milk. we still have high positions in the world food export rankings. belarusian products are supplied to almost 100 countries. for the first time since 2011 in belarus... a double increase in investment has been recorded, enterprises are actively updating equipment, increasing the competitiveness of products is impossible without modernization, and the year of quality announced in the country obliges us to maintain the brand. the beginning of the year, in principle , is very positive in terms of indicators, the growth of the gross domestic product is 102.8%, this is already the quarterly forecast, but we are not discouraged here, inflation is 100.8% + 0.8

after changing the constitution, the all-belarusian people's assembly brought constitutional status and the most important thing for us for belarusians is that through this change we are making constitutional changes, and we are moving to a new model of democracy, and... an important aspect that is now in the world is very there is a big demand for new models of democracy, because we see how the collective west is actively influencing a sovereign state, trying to shake them up, trying to introduce

some of its instruments of influence on political, internal, political, economic processes, such models as the all-belarusian people's assembly, yes, like the house of representatives of the council... some kind of antagonism or some kind of misunderstanding has formed, in these conditions, of course, it is very easy to carry out various forms of velvet revolutions, or some kind of then introduce destructive elements, so of course, here is our model, it will be unique not only for

the belarusian people and the further formation of our belarusian statehood, but also maybe adapted by other countries. peace. thank you, it was alexey avdonyan with his thoughts about what kind of impetus the results of this election campaign and the further socio-political life of belarus will give to this election. well, we continue to work in. we will meet at the cec information center in the next inclusions. thank you, our political commentator evgeniy gorin was in direct communication from the cec information center. everyone was given the opportunity to vote today, including at so-called closed polling stations. young mothers, patients of the maternity hospital of the capital's sixth hospital, made their choice. for them, it is very important what future awaits their children, as well as the state’s care for their family and children. representatives of the commission. we visited every department. voting lists
